Here's my new still life set up. I found it awhile back at a yard sale. It's a table with no sides, just a top and bottom. I painted it with a reflective while enamel and with the help of some heavy white fabric I can create the sides and back, that way controlling the light and shadows. I'm excited to try it out.... Now... I've just got to get 2 rooms painted, and a ceiling, and some cabinets to get ready for my new kitchen cabinets FIRST !!!

I tried a really big one (for me),because it's 32 x 32,for my newly painted 2nd familyroom..... I needed something big and bold over the couch, beside my "Clausen" abstract from California. His work is so cool, usually completely abstract... we bought one of his rare ones which contains a portrait, also.

Daily Paintworks

Welcome to my Daily Painting Blog

I started a painting-a-day assignment on Sept. 11, 2010. As a retired art teacher I've set this challenge for myself to create self-discipline, and loosen my painting style. Going to the studio now has become a regular and necessary activity. I've enjoyed pushing myself to create interesting still lifes on the canvas.
